Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always looking for ways to prevent car thefts as they increase. The ghost immobiliser does exactly that.
It's the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that is protected against key hacking or cloning and also stops thieves from driving off with your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be hidden and inaccessible. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons they protect against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from starting unless you enter a pre-determined PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. The PIN code can be as long as up to 20 presses long and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you lose your pin, a button fails or you sell your car there's an emergency pin code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers have the added benefit of being undetectable by diagnostic equipment and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves are unable to use sophisticated scanning technology to identify an immobiliser. They also use CAN data network, which doesn't require cutting wires during installation and is quieter.
Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced rates for insurance on vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are accepted as an additional security layer that could deter thieves.
Autowatch Ghost is unlike factory-fitted immobilisers as it can be used with a wide range of vehicles, including motorhomes and vans. It can also be used with electric cars or ride-on lawnmowers, as well as even motorhomes. This makes it more versatile than other anti-theft technologies and is able to be combined with vehicle trackers to create the most effective car security system.

Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that require a code to unlock the ECU of your car and allow it to start to communicate with the ECU via the CAN data network. This makes them undetectable by diagnostic tools, quiet, and unhackable. They can be fitted to various vehicles such as motorhomes and trucks and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system was developed to protect you completely from theft. It blocks your vehicle from starting without either the unique PIN code or smartphone app that has the Ghost app installed. This is an incredibly high level security that will protect your vehicle against key copying. Hacking and ECU Swapping.
It's safe because it does not require any extra components such as key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, it uses your buttons already on the steering wheel and door panels to generate an alterable sequence that has to be entered before your car will start. This could be as long as 20 actions and works similarly to the PIN code on credit cards.
The device is also concealed, so that thieves can't locate it. Furthermore, it doesn't make use of radio signals and operates on the CAN data network, which makes it unnoticeable to thieves using RF scanning devices.
Many car thieves try to remove the chip from the CAN or replace it in the ECU to keep it from being detected. However, this method is only attainable by experts who have access to the right tools. The ghost immobiliser can protect your pride against many different types of vehicle thefts.
It can also be paired to an iPhone or an iPhone, which you'll require if you plan to start your car when it is in a garage at home or at work.

This sequence must be entered before you start the engine. The driver is able to modify the sequence at any time. It can be comprised of up to 20 different actions. This is a much more secure security method than using the key fob alone since it guarantees that nobody else will be able to drive your vehicle. It also prevents thiefs from hacking the system to gain access to your key code or the information that is transmitted to the vehicle's ECU from it.
